Union Passenger Station in Tacoma, Washington

Union Station is distinctive because of its copper dome. This Tacoma landmark serves as the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. According to Wikipedia, Union Station is an example of Beaux-Arts architecture, “that combines awe-inspiring elegance with spatial efficiency.” In it’s windows is the “Monarch Window” display by glass artist Dave Chihuly. The seven block area surrounding Union Station makes up what is known as the Union Station Warehouse District.

This one is for my Mom, who fell in love with it’s architecture while we were walking by. I had a lot of fun taking advantage of the early sunset in winter and getting these colors to pop during blue hour.

Japanese Garden at Point Defiance Park 2016

Point Defiance Japanese Garden (2016)

Once I heard the Metro Parks was planning on redesigning the Japanese Garden in Point Defiance Park I set out to photograph it’s current state. From what I understand the new changes are in partnership with Tacoma’s Japanese sister city, Kitakyushu, and will be modified to be more respectful of traditions and cultural heritage. I love Point Defiance and it’s exciting to see how much attention and effort is going into updating this park symbol.

Seattle at Night

Seattle at Night

For my birthday we ventured out to try a new 20mm lens and I think this turned out pretty well for my first try at a night cityscape! You can see the Space Needle, the Columbia Tower and further down out of the shot, Centurylink Field and Safeco! Every minute or so a plane flew overhead and of course the ferries were busy at work. The Seattle skyline is irresistible during both day and night.

Looking Down the Columbia River Gorge

Having grew up in this area I am constantly reminded of how I have taken it for granted. We went exploring and my Mom showed me this view of the river that is different from any I have seen. We caught some light as the sun was setting and captured the clouds as they were shifting from day to night. Thank you Mom!

Gig Harbor September Sunset

Gig Harbor September Sunset

Caught a beautiful September sunset on Gig Harbor in Washington. Mount Rainier was out and could be clearly seen in the cold air. Fortunately there was enough cloud cover to catch the pink hues just before we lost the light. A perfect Pacific Northwest fall evening!
